The Hon O Mowat
Atty Genl, Toronto

Dear Sir, re John Regan deed.

I have been requested by Coroner Gunn of Ailsa Craig, to attend the adjourned inquest to be held on Wednesday next at Lucan. An information has been lodged before W K Atkinson JP charging Mary Regan & James Hogan with the murder of said John Regan. Both parties have been arrested. An analysis of the stomach has been made by Dr Ellis & strychnine found. Under the circumstances, I presume I ought to attend the adjourned inquest, & intend doing so. I would like your authority for attending.

Yours truly,
Chas Hutchinson, County Atty
